We have more than ever, and easier ways of collecting data than we have ever had.
- londons_explore 7y agoWe have the data, but can't use it for research. As soon as you stick the data through an algorithm without getting permission from everyone in the dataset, you're getting put in prison for GDPR violations. Have fun getting consent from 100M people with only their postal address from 50 years ago.
